Josie Joe Edd Morris

Josie Ferguson Morris was a renaissance woman born before her time. She embodied the spirits of Annie Oakley, Scarlet O'Hara, Molly Brown, and the likes. It may have been her fearlessness when facing down desperadoes on a saloon porch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming? It may have been how she single handedly, yet briefly controlled traffic in downtown Chicago so her husband could back out of a parking space? It could have been her sure-fire determination to help her husband take a second chance on the jewelry shop that would become know well known throughout Mississippi. Whatever IT was Josie had it. She was gracious enough to choose love over fame, though men admired her great and small. With that love she built a family and a life worth remembering.
